Grosvenor

Hello!
Just wanted to post this quick sketch I did earlier, it's not much but the reason I am posting is because it's another character design that I am happy with for my story.
This guy is called Grosvenor, and he's (without giving away too much of the story) basically a kind of hunter, and most definitely a Nomad.
More on the story coming soon, including more concrete story plots revealed and further concept artwork and sketches too.

Another building design started

Hey Hey Internetters!

Was feeling in a constructive mood so started on another building design, this time a 3 level one.
I'm going to try and keep it in style with the last, meaning it will be set in the same same city.
I'm using Sketchup for this modelling, as it lends itself quite well to structures that are mostly right angles, the buildings that are set in the other main world of my story are more curved and smooth, so I will be using Maya to model those ones.
None of these models will be used for anything but reference really, or possibly for setting up scenes to be printed out and traced over using a lightbox.

I'll be continuing this building during the week after work so will update it's progress soon.

Have a nice Sunday people!

Building design

Greetings people of the internet!

I've been playing about with some building design this morning, working on getting a style for one of the main worlds within my story.
Working in 3d really is fun, I must do it more!

Until next time, hope you all have a great weekend.

Distractions from Art

Hi All!

Just wanted to post two pictures today, but not of artwork as I usually would!

The past two months have been mostly about work, leaving me pretty much no time for drawing, or 3d work at all.
But I shouldn't complain, the rent's getting paid!
I thought I'd post to photo's of what has been taking up my time, a large project that involved the design and construction of two large playground/garden areas in a nursery.
I oversaw the entire project, from consultations with the clients on what they wanted, I designed the areas, project managed the actual work with a team of 4 tradesmen, and finished off by doing the planting and then the paperwork!
It was a fun project, but I'm glad to be back having a little more time for drawing again, and time to work on my graphic novel series.
These two photo's are panoramic, so click on them and scroll to zoom in and check them out.

I'll be back soon with some art related updates, until then, keep creative people!

Fan Art Friday - Swamp Thing

I'm back!

I hope everyone is well and has been having a productive time since I last posted.
Work has led me to have minimal time for drawing over the past couple of months, that along with moving, and various other distractions, but I'm pleased to say I managed to get an hours sketching in this afternoon. One of which was of DC comic's Swamp Thing, and as it's Friday I thought I'd post it!

Edit - I've now posted the finished pencil sketch below the original image posted.

I am happy to say I have been working on the character and plot development of my graphic novel series with steady progress being made, so although I may not be able to draw whilst walking and commuting each day I can still be creative!
I shall be updating again soon, and more frequently from now on, so until then keep well and keep creative!
